30-12-2019 Another day and then
2019 is history. Just quickly some news from the nearly "old-year".
On December 21 the 130th Winner Show was organized, for the
first time in 130 years it was named Christmas Winner and
Amsterdam was forced exchanged for Gorinchem. We had Raffaele
and Sebastiana along, there was Steef with Ambrogio. Danish
judge was impressed by Raffaele (Bes), she repeated several
times that she really was the best of the day but was disappointed
quite a bit that Bes was not handeld well in the show ring...
Fortunately she desided to award Bes with Best Bitch, two
Championship points and Bes, who is indeed inexperienced at
shows, obtain the title 2019 Winster. Sebastiana won the title
Veteran Winster 2019 and got Best Veteran. Ambrogio got the
Reserve CAC CACIB and got the two shifted championship points.
A great show day for us! We have PUPPY NEWS. Are

12-12-2019 On December 11, our
dear "Duffy" gave birth to her puppies. Upcoming period we
will try to post daily a report on the web with some pictures.
The puppy page is easily found under PUPPY NEWS if you want
to take an instant look. At this moment we start up page PUPPY
NEWS but there are already some other active pages with pictures
and reports. Meanwhile, we have called all the people who
we had on our list. This brought joy but also some disappointment
because we had more people on the list than we have puppies.
In about two and a half weeks "strangers" are welcome to visit
our home. Then it is done with our quiet time. We now ready
to enjoy our (read Duffy X Oren) babies.
17-11-2019 We have visit the
veterinarian with our "Duffy" Dama Bianca di Ala
D'Oro to do an ultra sound to she if she is carrying. We are
very happy with the news that she is pregnant. Around December
10, we expect puppies from her. From what we saw in the ultra
sound, a large litter is expected. Now another few weeks of
patience. Meanwhile, we take our preparations. All aranged
all our vacation and days off so that we will be home all
the time, until the puppy's are eight weeks old. Of course,
also this time we have made a puppy page.
We will put our experiences and photo's at this puppy page,
to share with the rest of the World. In the picture you see
Duffy, photo made yesterday, she was 39 days pregnant and
must still maintain for about 24 days. We think Duffy shows
her pretty belly well.
23-10-2019 Last weekend was the
VISJ Fieldwork Contest. Edda da Dama di Ala D'Oro had a great
course and showed how good her nose is. The point was neat,
nothing to to criticize. Duffy Dama Bianca di Ala D'Oro had
a nice-course, she also came to point, her bird took off because
of a little too low head position in this short grasslands,
but happily it did not go on the wings. She managed to secure
the game eventually. The field judge PA Gudmundsson thought
Edda had a flawless turn and rewarded her with the highest
score, 10 points. She became the day winner! Duffy got 9 points,
she became 2nd of the day. Duffy has obtain the club title
VISJ Bello & Bravo 2019 she got the highest combined points
in show and trail. Besides Edda and Duffy five of our dogs
entered the field trail. Something we are very proud of. Are

10-10-2019Our "Duffy"
Dama Bianca di Ala D'Oro is mated by "Oren" Calabrone
Aladoro. Click on the picture for more information about this
beautiful combination. If all goes well we know about four
weeks if Duffy is actually pregnant. For now it looks good.
Ten days ago we were with Oren, Brogio and Bess to the veterinary
practice in Enkhuizen to make HD and ED photos. This week
we got the good results and we are very pleased and proud.
We thank Veterinarian Lub for her expertise and the high quality
of the photos they always make. Also a compliment to her husband
who is her solid assistant in radiography. We have more people
to thank, also a big compliment for a Kennel Club employee.
"Bas" Sebastiana Bruna di Ala D'Oro did not receive a message
about her official Club Winner title, which she won on 25
May 2019. Also we received no invitation to the Top Dog of
the Year Show 2019. After some research by the friendly Kennel
Club employee, she found that "Bas" results and official title
were not at all submitted. The Kennel Club empoyee did her
very best to solf all the mistakes made by the BIC. We are
still waiting for a sincere apology from the BIC secretary,
but do not think it's coming. Are you curious about even more

26-08-2019Today we went to the
veterinarian with Edda da Dama di Ala D'Oro to make an ultra
sound to see if she is pregnant. We are sorry to let you know
that she is not pregnant. Very disappointing, but also no
reason to be depressed. Next time we will try again. Now we
can concentrate on new plans some nice holiday's, travel to
nice and interesting places, since we now have some spare
time left. At the picture you see Stephanie with Ambrogio
da Fendi di Ala D'Oro. They participate last Sunday at the
SJP hunting test. It was the first time for Ambrodgio to enter
this test. Stephanie told us that they did not obtain the
C diploma but he did really well and got very high points
for the parts he was participating. We of course are very
proud that both him and Stephanie did so well in this test.

26-04-2019This month we have
been to Italy to take part in the show and field competition,
organized by the SABI. The SABI celebrates his seventieth
birthday. First, it seemed that by our work schedules we both
could not present, however with help from co workers changing
shifts I could go . Debby wanted to keep me company on this
trip. After to have picked up first Salvatore we went full
packed towards Tuscany. We had Sebastiana and Duffy registered
for both show and field contest. This was the third anniversary
of the SABI where we participated with our dogs. 1999, 2009
and now so 2019. Our two girls did just fine again this year.
Sebastiana was 2nd excellent in a well-stocked champion class.
Very proud of this result. The next day on the field contest
Duffy worked very sophisticated on a couple of partridges,
she pointed the female in the end nicely and neatly went down
on my command when the Partridge fly. The judge awarded her
for this wonderful work with a qualification, very good. With
this result she obtain 4th place in our battalion. And although
Sebastiana also did great and even fixated a couple beautiful
partridges, it was this time my error that a qualification
was lost. A learning moment... that sure will be included
in a next field trail. On 21 april we held our Ala D'Oro family
day. A super great day in Putten, soon on our page a photo
report of this lovely day. Are you curious about even more

15-02-2019The hustle and bustle
of working life makes that time flies. First a look back by
last January. At the begin of January we were invited with
Sebastiana to join the dog of the year Show. Unfortunately
we had to cancel at the last minute. The night before we went
to a restaurant and got food poisoning. We were really disapointed
that we could not make it. Now we must ensure that our Bass
gets another chance to represent herselves. We're going to
do our best to achieve that. 20 January we were present at
the hunting ability test, we saw some nice dogs working. Our
Bess and Brogio took home, with flying colors, their hunting
ability certificate. Brogio has also started his show career,
this young man has obtain his first point for the Dutch Youth
Championship. Well done Steef and Ambrogio! On 21 april this
year we organize an Ala D'Oro family day. All owners of an
Ala D'Oro have been invited by email. But if you did not get
a email with with a invitation, just let us know. We call
to the owners of an Ala D'Oro, to send beautiful pictures
of your dog (s). Then we can update all the personal photo
pages of the dogs. Preferably in jpg/jpeg file send to email
